Coral lipstick trend: Find the best shade for your skin tone
We love this poppy shade (a cheerful blend of pink and orange) for summer. Even better, it complements a variety of skin tones. From sheer and shimmery to bold and matte, we’ve got the one for you.

Coral Lipstick
Skin tone: Light/Fair
A sheer sweep of soft coral looks great on lighter complexions. For a more dramatic lip try a rich-pigmented matte shade.
Try: Maybelline Color Whisper in Coral Ambition, $10, Target
Skin tone: Medium/Olive
Fruity shades like apricot, peach and tangerine compliment warmer skin tones. Go for a creamy opaque finish for a true statement lip and keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
Try: MAC lipstick in Sushi Kiss, $18, MAC
Skin tone: Dark/Bronze
The brighter the better for deeper complexions, especially when it comes to berry and coral shades. If you like a little shimmer, look for hints of warm gold in your lipstick.
Try: Make Up For Ever Rough Artist Natural in Iridescent Orange Pink, $23, Sephora
